As one of the maintainers of Mercurial, I take great offense in this meme. ;)

It’s definitely up with Git in my opinion. I much prefer the branching in Mercurial.

It’s certainly very offensive to lump it in the same band as SVN and TFVC.

Given that Git and Mercurial were both created around April 2005 to serve the same purpose by very similar people for the same reason... I'd say it's fair!
